About The Work
Jenny Holzer, along with seven other leading international artists, were asked to create a print to celebrate Tate Modern’s 21st anniversary. Two-thirds of the profits from the sale of each 'MORE TROUBLE THAN THOUGHT' print will benefit Tate.
Holzer’s TATE 21 limited edition print features one of her iconic Truisms – “ACTION CAUSES MORE TROUBLE THAN THOUGHT”. The print employs a highly decorative, cursive font which has been rendered in hand-applied palladium leaf onto a screen printed silver-grey background. At first, the words remain somewhat elusive, merging into an overall elaborate pattern of flowing curls, but once discerned their meaning becomes clear and the simple message richly communicated.
